Emirates says it will resume 'limited number' of flights, El Al weighs use of private jets
CNBC
Emirates airline said it will resume a limited number of flights as early as Monday afternoon.
Dubai-based Emirates airline said it plans to resume some flights as early as Monday night, while Israeli airline El Al said Monday that it's considering chartering private jets to bring stranded Israeli citizens home.
The announcements mark a potential improvement after air travel ground to a halt in a large swath of the Middle East over the weekend following the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran and subsequent retaliatory strikes.
The attacks shut airspace over a large part of the region, stranding hundreds of thousands of customers around the world and leading to thousands of canceled flights, including those who weren't flying to and from the area since aircraft couldn't transit those zones. Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, is one of the busiest air travel hubs in the world.
